Axis Q7436 and Q7920: card and chassis video encoder to support up to 84 security cameras

Developed for demanding video surveillance installations, Axis Communications has introduced the Q7436 on-board video encoder and Q7920 chassis, that allows to withstand up to 84 analog security cameras.

The manufacturer of network video systems Axis Communications has developed a new on-board video encoder, Q7436, and the Q7920 video encoder rack, for locations with demanding surveillance needs, like airports, train stations and citizen surveillance, who need high performance, flexibility and reliability.

Erik Fränlid, Director of Product Management at Axis, notes that this new video encoding system "is an optimal surveillance solution, that allows customers with large analog CCTV installations to connect their cameras to an IP network, providing you with immediate access to all the benefits of digital surveillance, including video analytics capabilities, remote access and scalability".

Axis Q7436 on-board video encoder provides 50ips video streams, with sharp images even of scenes with fast-moving objects. Offers multiple video streams simultaneously, individually configurable by each channel, at maximum resolution and with the maximum number of images per second. Q7436 accepts up to six channels and incorporates specific image quality features, as noise reduction, optimized sharpness and contrast.

For large-scale centralized systems, high-density rack solutions with on-board video encoders are a very reliable and flexible solution. The Q7920 chassis developed by Axis is an expandable and ideal system for the migration of analog surveillance facilities to IP video.

This chassis can accommodate up to fourteen on-board video encoders, with the possibility of exchanging them in 'hot' and of giving support up to 84 analog cameras. Thanks to its power and network redundancy, is a highly reliable solution in demanding security installations.

Axis Q7920 incorporates two RJ45 ports and two SFP inputs (for fiber optics) to ensure long-distance network connectivity, flexible and affordable, as it allows the use of different types of card and the control of PTZ cameras through RS-485 connectors.

Q7436 on-board video encoder is supported by the Axis Development Partner Program video management application base (Adp) and Camera Station, and includes support for avhs hosted video solution and Onvif for easy integration into camera systems.
